Question

I've been struggling with ringworm for the past year, and my doctor recommended itraconazole and griseofulvin, but they haven't helped at all. What should I do now?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for reassessment, as itraconazole and griseofulvin are effective treatments; alternatives or additions may include topical creams (e.g., terbinafine, clotrimazole), oral antifungals (e.g., fluconazole, posaconazole), or laser therapy; also, ensure you're using an antifungal soap, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and avoiding sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

I'm really worried because my hair is getting thinner every day due to hair loss. My sister suggested trying Keraglo Eva tablets, but I'm unsure if they're okay for women to use or if they're just for men. Can you give me some advice on this?

Question

I've seen my dad use Sofradex cream for his psoriasis, and he's had good results with it. I'm 19 and struggling with a lot of pimples on my face and neck. Is it okay for me to use the same cream for my pimples? I'm not sure if it's suitable, and I'd really like to get my skin looking better. What do you think?

Question

I'm really worried about my complexion. I've noticed my skin is dull and damaged, and I'm looking for something to help brighten it up. I heard Restreta could work for whitening the face. Is it really effective, and how soon can I expect to see results? I was told it might show results in a month, but I'm curious if that's true. Would you recommend this tablet?
